I got into this band back in December of last year and there was really better time to become a Modest Mouse fan. Stoked for the new record!

They played a few of the new songs live at their concerts the last 2 years. Highly recommend checking out Remember Yourself, and Third Side Of The Moon if you want a sneak peak at those tracks!

I’m so excited for them to go back to this type of sound that I could cry 😅

I agree about Modest Mouse. Their first few records are some of my favorites but their last two did nothing for me at all. Hoping I connect more with this upcoming release.

I can listen to anything Issac puts into words, the guy’s personality and perspective is built for lyrics
1. Issac brick
2. Neil young
3. Gord Downie
Can’t wait, diggn what he’s saying in the first two new tracks

I got into them pretty late (like 5 or 6 years ago) but its good stuff. Happy to hear we've got a fresh crop of songs headed this way
